An AutoShape can be added to
a Word, PowerPoint,
FrontPage or Excel file using one of the AutoShapes icons on the Drawing
Toolbar. Once an AutoShape has been added and formatted the shape can be
changed with a couple of clicks of the mouse without losing the
formatting. So do NOT delete and start from scratch - instead change it!
A shape is classified as an
"AutoShape" when added using one of the following icons on the
Drawing Toolbar: AutoShapes, Line,
Arrow, Rectangle, Oval or Text Box.
After an AutoShape
has been added and formatted, it can be quickly changed to a
different AutoShape. First select the shape and then from the
Drawing Toolbar click Draw,
Change AutoShape and
select a new shape from the menu options.
